SissyCessful
By Oak Morse
For the screen-based, Gen-Z Jericho Browns, with everything, but…
Got to gala glaze lavender my pansy hoist my symphony
little gal Fauntleroy in ultra dire
cootie yuntra éclat giddy-up on Success’s back
spite of daunt you be star-cé revolutionary karat contracts
peachy patents white-knot crêpe toast steel rhinos
ching-ching Venmo smut vital is what desperate does
this is about triangle-gilded aura of tangy
strangé fag-haters choke on fleece please
before all else honor your sunset
boycott coyote say clavicle emerald slay
strut in corridor of Christian Dior with a Tiffany & Co. twat
bet a Sunday slop you’re bound to find your
beamy birthright only if you comprehend the shaman
desperate never does the same dance
so allure with or without your Lexapro because you’re
a Sy’rai of infinity a Chor Ra Kuji
a Cleo-paxton a montage of jelly credits & iced-out epiphanies
atop your righteous rooftop balmy & broad
jumbo confetti flurrying di, di, da, di, bah, di wey
look above, love: fan mail from God.
